what ecu are you on? do you hear vtec engage? for that car 5500-5800 should be about right.

my friend had the same problem, oil wasnt even touching the dip stick, throw some oil in there and maybe it will keep up the oil pressure to switch over to vtec? since then it has worked problem free

if oil pressure is low it shouldn't engage - check oil pressure - are you throwing any codes?
